4th of July Fun

Wow, I can't believe we are almost to the end of July. Today I started teaching our summer reading camp and it was wonderful. I am really excited to be back in the groove. Although I must admit my body needs to readjust my sleep schedule a little! I am really enjoying working with this small group of students and will be doing it for the next three weeks. I informed my boss today that I think I am getting all my sickness out of the way before school starts. First it was 3 weeks of vertigo in June and last week I had the three day stomach bug!

I got to spend the whole 4th of July holiday with Madison. We went to the festival and parade in my hometown. Then we loaded in the car to find the perfect spot for the fireworks in my town. We ended up with a great spot overlooking the show. We were so lucky to sit by another family that had a 5 year old little girl that Madison had a blast playing with. The weather was crazy(in a good way) this 4th and by the end of the evening Madison was eating ice cream in a fleece sweatshirt.  The next day the 4th we went swimming all afternoon and then had dinner out and got ready for more fireworks. We were blessed to have fabulous seats in my best friends parents back yard and my co-teacher and her family joined me. We had the best time and the girls had so much fun running around the yard and loving on baby Nate! We both came home exhausted but we had a fabulous holiday.
